What are a lysosome’s functions? What does apoptosis mean? 29 Lysosome & its function If cell damaged beyond repair Lysosomes can help it to self-destruct by apoptosis (programmed cell death) They destroy invading viruses & bacteria They break down excess or worn-out cell parts A lysosome is a membrane bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes Centrosome Directs organisation of microtubules within the cell Comprises a pair of centrioles (small clusters of microtubules) Plays an important part during cell division 31 Centrosome 2 centrioles, cylindrical structures, orientated at right angles to each other Cylindrical structures, held at right angles to one another Act as organisers of the nuclear spindle during cell division  Microfilaments Composed predominantly of a contractile protein called actin, which is the most abundant cellular protein Fine, thread-like protein Can also carry out cellular fibres, 3-6 nm in diameter movements including gliding, contraction & cytokinesis (the division of cytoplasm following division of a nucleus) Association with the protein myosin is responsible for muscle contraction Microtubules Involved in intracellular Cylindrical tubes, 20- transport, e.g. movement of 25 nm in diameter mitochondria Composed of subunits of Form the spindle fibres for the protein – tubulin separating chromosomes during mitosis When arranged in geometric Act as a scaffold to patterns inside flagellae e.g. determine cell shape and cilia, they are used for locomotion Peroxisome A membrane – Contains oxidative bound organelle enzymes such as catalase A major function is Important in the breakdown of delaying cell ageing fatty acid molecules Label the diagram & state their functions 36 Cell Division Mitosis Process by which a cell duplicates the chromosomes in its cell nucleus - in order to generate two genetically identical daughter nuclei (each containing 46 chromosomes) The process of mitosis is complex and highly regulated Mitosis --- Stages: A 1. Interphase B 2. Prophase C 3. Metaphase D 4. Anaphase E 5. Telophase Interphase Cell growth DNA synthesis Chromosome 2 pairs of replicates into – pairs of chromatids centrioles appear Early Prophase Each chromosome has two chromatids joined at a centromere The mitotic spindle, composed of microtubules and proteins, forms in the cytoplasm The two pair of centrioles move away from one another toward opposite ends of the cell Late Prophase Nuclear envelope breaks up Microtubules that make up the spindle fibres, reach from each cell pole to the cell's equator Chromosomes /chromatids begin to migrate toward the cell centre Metaphase Nuclear membrane disappears completely Two pair of centrioles align at opposite poles of the cell Chromosomes /chromatids align at the metaphase plate at right angles to the spindle poles Anaphase The paired chromatids in each distinct chromosome begin to move apart Once the paired sister chromatids separate from one another, each is considered a "full" chromosome, referred to as daughter chromosomes The daughter chromosomes move to the poles at opposite ends of the cell Telophase Nuclei begin to Chromatin fibres of form at opposite chromosomes poles uncoil Cytokinesis, the division At the end of of the original cell's cytoplasm, begins before cytokinesis, there the end of mitosis and are two distinct completes shortly after daughter cells telophase  Videos of mitosis www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNwJbMovnVQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwAFZb8juMQ 47 Meiosis 01 This type of cell division The ova grow to maturity in occurs in the formation of the ovaries of the female and reproductive cells known as the spermatozoa in the testes the gametes - the ova and of the male spermatozoa 02  After division each of the daughter cells has only 23 chromosomes When the ovum is fertilized the resultant zygote has the full complement of 46 chromosomes, half from the father and half from the mother Stages of Meiosis - Meiosis I Chromosomes of Homologous (similar) The stages are The homologous Homologous pairs divide and the diploid cells chromosomes pair as for mitosis pairs swap some 2 daughter cells are replicate up DNA produced, each with 23 chromosomes only – haploid Stages of Meiosis- Meiosis II Meiosis II is similar to mitosis & 4 daughter haploid cells are produced Video comparing & contrasting mitosis & meiosis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrKdz93WlVk&vl=en 53 Cellular Transport Transport of substances across cell membranes Passive Transport Active Transport Diffusion or osmosis uses ATP Bulk Transport pinocytosis or phagocytosis Cell Transport B D A C E 1.
